It's pretty nit-picky but "Queen Mary II" would look so much classier.
To: Howlin
FANTASTIC! Thanks for posting this- I am an old transatlantic liner buff. Not a good time for me to run up to NY, but I wish I could have just to watch her come in.

Thanks for posting this. I read that it has a planetarium on it and an 8,000 volume library. I am dying to go on it.

She cleared the Verazzano Narrows by TEN FEET!!! TEN FEET!

No she is only going to be in port for three days. That should be just enough time to get her cleaned up and ready for another cruise.

it leaves sunday night together with the QE2 (I've sailed on that one may years ago) to the UK.

I heard it from my apartment this morning, but couldn't see it due to the fog.

A buddy of mine is headed to NYC to board for the outbound trip; he's pretty jazzed about it. I hope the security hassles aren't too onerous.

Does anyone know what time she sails on Sunday? I'm going to be in Downtown Brooklyn, and could drive to the Narrows to see her leave...

Eye of the beholder, I guess. That is one ugly boat. =)
To: Howlin
Was there a reason they did not wait for the tide?
